Sayuringo's scandal

Just yesterday I was watching the first episode of NogiBingo3 and I was thinking to myself:
What a perfect Idol group. Nogizaka46 is so awesome! No scandals, everyone is so beautiful..

But today Bunshun revealed a scandal of Matsumura Sayuri:
She seems to be dating a guy and there are even photos, that prove it's her! But even worse, the guy seems to be married and has children!

Well, there's always a conflict about the love ban rule for Idols. I talked about that before when the Miichan scandal happened. I don't care for it (like, for me it isn't a bad thing if Idols date), but at the same time I do believe it's a risk to break that rule and that the Idols should be careful.
But the worst thing here is actually that the guy Ringo dates already has a wife and children! Sayuri apologized (which was actually really sad to listen to) and revealed that she didn't know he was married.
Since that guy is also a big boss of a gravure magazine or something, there are now also many rumors of Sayuri being with him to be more popular and stuff.

Well, I don't know who to believe, I really hate scandals and rumours..
I'm actually quite a big fan of Sayuri. Because of that I of course will support her. Again, I don't care if she dates someone.. And of her not knowing that the guy was married, I will believe her until we actually hear another statement that says something different!
I understand that she might be dropped from senbatsu, but just like Sasshi and Miichan she deserves a second chance and I really hope Ringo will use it and that she won't get into a scandal again. The Japanese Idol industry is so much about images, so I really hope she can work her way up again and that Nogizaka46 won't get some negative feedback for that..

On the bright side, Nogizaka46 released their 10th single today and had their best first day sales ever. :) Congrats, girls!

SM vs. Jessica - WTH??

For those of you who don't know about the whole issue, here a little summary: 

Jessica isn't a part of Girls' Generation anymore. Jessica says SM dropped her out, SM says Jessica wanted to leave on her own because of her new fashion brand. There are also rumors of her wanting to marry Tyler Kwon.

My reaction:

The whole conflict is really complicated and I'm not sure who to believe in. 

I don't know, SM Entertainment just looks more and more unprofessional to me. This is the third group this year and the 5th in general that lost a member/ members. JYJ's conflict, Hangengs lawsuit, Kris' lawsuit, Sulli's leave (she may actually come back, but yeah) and now this. The only group who still has all of their original members is SHINee (not going to count Red Velvet, since they have been there for a few seconds it seems). I've never really trusted SM to be honest. 

But the whole thing seems fishy to me.. I mean, why would Sm fire one of their most famous singers? It actually seems like Jessica had a plan of leaving GG in the near future. And the whole Tyler Kwon thing confuses me even more. 

I'm not the biggest fan of Jessica and absolutely cannot stand her voice, but she has always been an important face of Girls' Generation, so it does make me sad to see her leaving the group. 

SONE's must feel very sad and confused too. It's somehow also Jessica vs. Girls' Generation if SM tells the truth. And this must be the hardest thing for the fans (and they have MANY fans). Hating on SM is something many people do and they can still continue to like the groups. But they trust the members and it would be hard to find out that they are not supporting each other...

I know that feeling, since I'm a SuJu fan. That pic of Heechul and Hangeng just a few months ago made me really happy.^^

I really hope we will soon know the truth about this whole thing. I wish Jessica and Girls' Generation the best for their futures!

Se7en and his activities in the army

As you all probably now, there's quite a scandal about Se7en and Sangchu, two celebreties who are serving in the army right now. The two (and other soldiers) were in civil clothes, going to a massage parlor that's called ''Happy Ending'' (hmm.. what will the happy ending be??). Yep, and they were pretty rude and destroied the camera of the reporter..
You better read this again here: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/06/weekly-recap-se7en-sangchu-not-so-happy-ending-sunggyu-controversy-and-more (allkpop is better with writing this stuff than me..).

Well, if you now think this is their private life, what do they want, I WOULD agree with you. But because they are in the ARMY, they can't just get drunk and go to a brothel. They are normal soldiers and can't just think they can do anything because they are famous. You thought the Rain scandal was a big scandal? No, actually I think going out with a girl you love is better than getting drunk and meet a girl you don't know, just for FUN.
I really, really liked Se7en as a singer and his songs were pretty awesome. Well, it's not that I hate him now. I think I will still follow his career a bit (if he has a career after this) and I think everyone deserves a second chance. But I lost a bit of my respect for him as a person because he obviously isn't following the rules and has a GIRLFRIEND.

I just wanted to tell you how I feel about this whole thing.. I hope these scandals will stop, and other celebreties will show that not everyone of them acts ike THAT. They all have to follow the rules - famous or not.

Why did that happen??

Mii-chan has a scandal?? MIICHAN??

But yes, it is a 'scandal'. She has been photographed leaving GENERATIONS member Shirahama Alans house by the'Shukan Bunshun'. First, it was just rumor but THEN she shaved her hair and apologized throug a video on youtube.

See the difference?
With that she shows how serious she is about the whole thing. In the video she showed her real feelings and even cried. I feel so sorry for her..

But why does a 20 year old have to apologize for dating a man? Well, remember that this is in Japan. Here Idols have got a certain 'No Dating Rule'. That means if they date, they will be punished. Not really punished, but most of the times they have to leave their group or will be transferred to another one (Sashihara Rino from AKB48 to HKT48). Akimoto Sayaka has been shafted into the back every time since she had a scandal.
I don't like this rule at all. It takes the freedom from them so that they can be the puppets of their producers. 'Pure' Idols that every fan loves. You can imagine them as your girlfriends and many get obsessed with them. You wouldn't like it if they would get a boyfriend. YOU couldn't come together with them anymore. So you would probably stop being her fan.. IF you do that, you haven't really been her fan at all before.
Even though I don't like how Idols are being treated in Japan I have to accept it. It's different from our western treatment (look at Justin Bieber, he had several girlfriends). It's even different from the South Korean treatment. Korean Idols will lose fans, too but they won't be pushed out of a group.
Yes it is different in Japan but I try to understand it. I think the rule is there to PROTECT the idols. When they got a boyfriend they would be distracted and couldn't work that hard anymore. They have nearly no time for them so it would be a hard relationship. Many celebrity couples break up because they work so far away from each other. And this rule definitely protects them from being pregnant or marrying.. which would be the end of an Idol carrer in Japan.
In Miichans case even though it was probably her own decision to shave her hair, perhaps it was a bit through the pressure of the society and her obsessive fans.
But what happened to her? Did they push her out? Did they transfer her to another group? No, they transferred her to the kenyuusei.. She is now a research student and we don't know what will happen to her.. Will she get promoted again in the future?? I think this is a little bit hard. I mean she is still one of the founding members of AKB and she has been there for 7 years now. The worst thing is that Shirahama doesn't get any punishment. It's always the girls that get the punishment... But we can't really change that. I just hope she will get in the voting single this year so that Aki-P knows the fans still love her.. AND THEY DO. Many fans support her and even her fellow members and friends do that.

Good Luck Miichan. :)

Something else did happen to AKB48 while I wasn't online a few days. Itano Tomomi will graduate this year.

Tomochin?? Whyyy? All 1st generation members leave one after another. :(
I've got my own little history with Itano Tomomi.
I saw her in a CM and thought her mouth was funny (it is!!!).  That was waaay before I knew anything about AKB48 (okay I knew they existed). But then I somehow forgot about her.
Then I saw her at a big poster in Shibuya/ Tokyo and was like: Uhm, I know her somewhere from. I was able to watch a music video from her (I think it was 'Dear J'... the song is awesome). But when I went home and wanted to watch several videos I watched in Japan on TV, I couldn't find any of them on youtube. I was also too lazy to continue searching for that special song. So I forgot about it and also about Tomochin (well a little bit). Then after finding out more about AKB48 I didn't really care THAT much about her anymore. But still liked her.^^ And I still think her mouth is funny. xP
So now I'm really sad that she will graduate. :( She was special in many ways and I will miss her. But I think she will have a good carreer as a solo singer and as an actor in CMs (because she is in many of them).

So these are two sad stories coming from AKB48.
But there is also one really good thing that happened last week. And it's this one:

'Kiseki wa ma ni awanai' got freaking 2nd place in Request hour!!! Sae-chan yeaaaah... *-*
Soo good to see her back with the other members.

Heavy Rotation dropped to 4th place xP 

I think the fans were sick of that song always dominating

Oooooh.. And Sayakas 'Mushi no ballad' was 5th place!!!! Sooo awesome. There was so much Twin Towers love xD

That's it with AKB48 for this time. There is so much going on... *sigh*
Bye, bye^^

Because they were awesome too.. I love 'Two Roses'.

IU and Eunhyuk

Hey.
IU accidently posted a photo of herself and Eunhyuk lying on a bed. His isn't wearing a shirt and she is just in her pyjamas. Many people now assume they are in a relationship. (Well, LOEN Entertainment stated they aren't but who knows what's the truth).

Here's the article from Allkpop: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/11/iu-and-super-junior-eunhyuk-dating

So what IF they ARE in a relationship? At least I would be truly happy for both of them. I mean, I'm very surprised and didn't think it would happen so suddenly but can't Idols choose someone they want to love?
Although I can understand that some people are sad or furious (After all Eunhyuk is one of my favourite members of SuJu), I want to ask them something: 'Don't you want your favourite singer to be happy?' I read some really bad comments of fans who destroied IU's posters and everything and some even wanted her to die. I mean: SERIOUSLY???
I may not like some Idols BUT I will never say I want them to die.

Luckily most comments I saw were positive about the 'relation' although many fans were still shocked. But almost everyone said the statement of IU's agency was crap. I know what the truth is but I will still support Eunhyuk no matter what and even though I'm not the biggest fan of IU (but I like some of her songs) I wish them good luck in what ever their relation is.

 Don't they look cute together?

Well, the only one I'm sorry for is Donghae. xP (I mean, look at his expression)

No, just kidding, but some EunHae shippers are really freaking out right now.

 

 

 

Bye, bye
